Cheng Dalei sat behind the commander's case with his big cloak on his arms, listening to Zhao Zilong's report on the battle that night.
"So, you brought a batch of weapons back?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"They made a mess. Song Bokang was in a hurry to hunt down Baili Sheng, but they didn't care about me. I didn't think it would be a waste to take it, so I simply went along with it. There wasn't much, and I could only arm a thousand people at most.
"Zhao Zilong said, and then asked: "Should I not take it?"
"Uh, no, you did a good job." Cheng Dalei said: "How can you be a bandit if you don't steal things? However, how did Baili Sheng break through the encirclement? With his military strength, he may not be able to do this?"
"Bai Li Sheng has a general under his command who is very capable. Without him, Bai Li Sheng would not be able to successfully break through. I have fought against him, and I am no match for him."
Hey, Cheng Dalei was shocked. It was extremely difficult to make Zhao Zilong say these words.
"What is the origin of the other party? How come Baili Sheng has such a general under his command?"
"He rides a nine-flowered horse and carries a furnace gun with a golden gun. I don't know his origin. What is his name..." Zhao Zilong said: "By the way, I heard someone call him Lu Junyi."
"Yeah, it's him." Cheng Dalei was surprised.
Zhao Zilong's eyes lit up: "The boss is really well-informed, and he actually recognizes this person."
"Oh, I just heard about it, but I haven't seen it in person."
Cheng Dalei said casually, but he didn't expect that Lu Junyi would defect to Baili Sheng, which would add many variables to the matter. Although Zhao Zilong is strong, his level is still one level behind Lu Junyi, so losing to him would not be aggrieved.
.
"Okay, you have worked hard this time. Take a good rest after you return to the city."
After fighting against Lu Junyi, Zhao Zilong finally understood the gap between himself and the real master. In this way, he had a vague understanding and needed some time to hone his skills in order to improve.
Cheng Dalei still stayed in Shuofang City, nestling behind Shuai's case and thinking. Lu Junyi had already appeared. Logically speaking, Yang Guozhong should have arrived as well, so why hasn't he shown up yet?
Cheng Dalei wasn't really looking forward to his arrival. What he really cared about was the evildoer who was causing harm to the country. He didn't know if he would have a chance to see him...
"Master." Ah Xi came from outside and said, "I found something about what you asked me to check."
"Oh, come here and talk about it."
Cheng Dalei also transferred Ah Xi from Toad City and asked his Xizi team to send out manpower to check if there were any forces in Shuofang City who could easily take action. He sent a team there to grab a batch of food to supplement Shuofang City's consumption.
.
After so many days of searching, we finally found a few targets. After a round of screening, there were three targets left.
Ah Xi spread out the map and marked three locations on the map: "They are all in Jingzhou. The farthest one is Shimen City, which is about three hundred miles away from us and has 30,000 troops stationed. The closest one is Jinsha Town, which has only 100 troops.
A little further away is Heifeng Village, which has about three thousand people. Heifeng Village is very wealthy, and if we capture it, it will be enough for Shuofang City to spend some days."
Cheng Dalei chose from these three locations, and finally decided on Heifeng Village: "This is Heifeng Village. It is by the river. We can go downstream and come and go faster."
"I will immediately send someone to step on the plate." Ah Xi said: "Master, let the Xizi team do this operation. The Xizi team can win it quickly."
After a period of development, the number of Xizi Team has exceeded 1,000, and they have been sent to various places to collect intelligence. If you include the spies who were bribed from various places, the number will be even more.
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him: "You are an intelligence worker, just do your job well."
Ah Xi looked a little regretful: "Who is going to be responsible for this operation?"
Cheng Dalei thought about it and finally decided that Shan Xiongxin would lead the team. After all, he was the king of thieves, so professional things should naturally be done by professionals.
"Why let others take responsibility? I can obviously do it myself." Cheng Dalei said: "Go back to Toad City and send a message asking Shan Xiong to order a thousand soldiers and horses to come and assist me."
"yes."
Ah Xi agreed and retreated, thinking to herself: It turns out that the boss is also restless.
After Ah Xi left, Cheng Dalei stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, researching information about Black Wind Village.
Heifeng Village is more than a hundred miles away from Shuofang City. It takes less than half a day to reach Heifeng Village by walking down the river. The boss of Heifeng Village has a nickname called Hunjianglong. It is said that he has amazing water skills and is quite famous here.
Notoriety.
Tsk, Cheng Dalei sighed, he had been in Liangzhou for a few years, and he was all a fellow martial artist. Why didn't this gangster want to come over and say hello?
You see, I don’t even understand the principle of visiting the pier, so I absolutely need to tell you what the rules are.
By night, Shan Xiongxin had arrived at Shuofang City. This was his first action, and it was completely time to show off his abilities, so he was very excited.
"Master, when should we take action?" Shan Xiongxin was already impatient: "Why don't we set off immediately and be back at dawn."
"Why rush? The ship won't arrive until tomorrow. Let's set off tomorrow at dusk and start at night."
The next day, the ships from Toad Island had arrived. There were ten large ships in total, and the soldiers were fully armed and marched towards Heifeng Village.
…
On the water at dusk, a large boat was stopped on the tidal flat. A dozen fierce-looking men rushed onto the boat, laughing at the boatman who was running around with his head in his arms.
"We are the boss of Hunjiang Longlong. If you don't want to die, stay down for me."
With a click, the leading man cut a boatman's head in half. Blood spurted out on his face, and he grinned widely.
A young man with a pale face and no beard, holding a Qingfeng sword, was blocked in the cabin.
"Brother, brother, will we die?"
Standing behind him was a little girl, only eleven or twelve years old, with a pretty face.
"Don't be afraid. As long as my brother is here, you won't die."
The young man held the little girl in his arms and blocked the door with his sword to prevent the water thieves from coming in. But he didn't have much martial arts skills, and he would definitely suffer losses if he continued to fight.
It is said that this Hunjiang Dragon has a very vicious temperament. My little sister is still young, so if she falls into his hands, she will definitely suffer a vicious attack.
The young man gritted his teeth, wiped away the little girl's tears, and said, "Good little sister, don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."
He picked up the little girl, pushed open the cabin window, and jumped into the water. There was a popping sound, and bodies continued to fall into the water, but no one noticed him.
After several ups and downs, he splashed hard against the water. When a wave hit him, he fainted and was swept away by the current.
Even after he fell into coma, he still held the little girl tightly with one hand and refused to let go.
Several water thieves robbed the big ship and stood on the bow of the ship, laughing wildly.
